Used to describe two alternating states common to students and professionals in technical fields: the state of "grinding" for a work/school deadline and the state of "grinding" on the dance floor following completion of said academic/professional responsibilities. This connotation is most often applied to graduate students in doctoral programs, particularly in fields that involve intense computer programming and/or rigorous technical calculations, in which case it is referred to as "the research grind".

Something that occurs in middle and high school settings. Guys rub their front up against a girls behind to create pleasure while teachers roll their eyes in the background. Occurs once a circle, or a large group of people that can block out all the people grinding from peeping eyes, if formed and is very fun to do. Usually has a tempo to it depending on the speed of the music playing at the party/dance. However, once you reach the end of high school and move on to more... second and third base things, it seems like a waste of life. But for those smaller kids who are just learning how life works an what occurs in relationships, it’s a nice way to start while still feeling like something is going on!
